Hey guy! sorry for the long wait. I'm so sorry. I've been busy with school work and stuff. Thanks for all of those who have reviewd and supported my story. A special thanks to them. Hope to read more reviews! Hope you like it! ~N.B.E~

What was I going to do? How am I going to…I was worried. How am I going to get the strength to see their faces again? For once, I was actually worried to see them. I felt a cold and sharp shiver run down my spine. I had a lump in my throat that wasn't gonna go. For once I felt guilty, even though I did nothing wrong. I wondered how I was going to get through this. I stopped running. Jacob took my face in his warm hands and looked into my eyes.

"Don't! Don't put a frown where it doesn't belong and wrinkle your beautiful face….Why did you put it there in the first place?"

I looked away from his face and stared at the grass instead. He pulled my face up to his so that he could see into my eyes. I looked at his face this time.

"For some reason, I don't…I fell as though I did something wrong! I have a really weird feeling."

"You didn't do anything wrong. Besides, the ones that should be worried are you family. c'mon, were almost there, wanna race?"

I felt the tiniest bit relieved. Although he did make me smile. Wow! Jake, actually wanted to have some fun! He was so serious all the time and now he wanted to have some fun! Well…I would tease him first.

"Mmm…."

I moved my head slowly form side to side and gave a weak smile.

"C'mon nessie! You were the one that wanted more fun."

"Yeah…but…"

"Well. I guess Emmett will have so much quality time with you after I tell him—"

I Laughed and cut him off. I started to run really fast and yelled back at Jacob.

"That you lost to a girl!"

Jacob ran faster and reached up to me in minutes.

"Hey, that's not fair, you got a head start!"

"Well, I guess your gonna have a wonderful two months with Uncle Emmett!"

I couldn't stop laughing! That made me think of my family again. I didn't know what I was so worried about before! Me! Afraid of my own family! I laughed even more at that silly thought. The run didn't take long. We got to my grand parents home in ten minutes. I reached the front porch first! Yep! Jake was going to have quality time with Uncle Emmett for the next two months. I would have so much fun watching Jake get mentally tortured!

"I have to come in, don't I?"

He asked me sarcastically. Jake was already worried. Poor Jake!

We went up to the clean white door. I was about to knock on it when it suddenly swung open. In the doorway was a very relieved vampire. She was wearing long blue jeans that touched the polished clean floor. She wore a long black top that stopped at her thighs. She wore small white earrings and had a big smile on her face. She had short black hair that was spiked in every direction. Aunt Alice hugged me tightly and I hugged her back.

"Thank goodness you're alright nessie! It's extremely frustrating when you can't see your niece when she's in danger!"

Me and Jacob went inside the house.

"Nessie!"

I saw my mum run down the stairs as she came and hugged me. My dad came a second later.

"Nessie, you're alright! I was so worried about you!"

My mum hugged me a little tighter this time. She gently let go of me as I went and hugged my dad. I felt relieved to see him.

"I'm so glad you're ok sweetheart!"

"I missed you too dad!"

A few seconds later, I saw the rest of my family come in through the kitchen. Uncle Jasper was the first to come in. As he came in, he suddenly winced. Must have been all that happiness and relief that him. He looked at me and smiled.

"Glad to have you home nessie."

There were low murmurs behind him and I knew that they must've heard what he said. Suddenly, Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett pushed the door open and rushed towards me. In a flash, Aunt Rosalie was hugging me, a bit too tight for comfort but I didn't mind. She kissed me on my cheek and hugged me again.

"I'm so glad you're alright nessie!"

She let go of me and shot an angry glance at Jacob. Suddenly I was hauled up by Uncle Emm. He hugged me real tight.

"Glad to have you back squirt!"

"Y…you too uncle Emm. W…would y…you please let go of me?"

He started to laugh loudly and I could feel the vibrations touch me as I started to vibrate to his laughter. He put me down and I was glad. He turned to Aunt Rose how was still wearing an angry expression.

"C'mon rose, don't be a sour puss. Be glad she's home!"

"No, if it weren't for those dogs—

She shot another angry glare at Jacob, as if she was trying to accuse him.

"This wouldn't of have happened! Trusting those dogs is wrong!"

"Oh! And I'm suppose this is my entire fault right! I'm responsible for what my brothers do, right?"

"Exactly right mongrel!"

"That's enough Rosalie!"

Grandpa Carlisle and grandma Esme came through the kitchen door.

"Jacob has done the greatest favor we could ask for! I thank you for that Jacob and I apologize for her rude behavior."

"It's alright doc. 'sides we all know that blondie doesn't have a brain here."

It was silent for a minute.

"Yes, I think you should." My dad must have answered Jacobs's thoughts.

"Carlisle, Jacob has some matters to discuss with you."

"Of course but I think it would be most appropriate if we all sat down first."

Everyone went to the lounge room and sat down. As Jake was about to sit on one of the arm chairs, Aunt Rosalie rushed to it first. The only place left for Jake to sit was the floor. That made me a little annoyed with Aunt Rosalie! Grandpa Carlisle gave a wary look to her, but I could see the warning in his eyes.

"Rosalie, where are your manners!"

"It's alright doc, the floors more comfortable."

Jacob sat next to the chair grandpa Carlisle sat in. I went and sat nest to him with my head leaning against the side of his arm.

"So Jacob, what did you have to say?"

"Well, Sam's pack has gotten bigger since the last time I saw it. He's got new members and has planning on attacking nessie—" Aunt Rosalie interrupted him in mid sentence and growled at him.

"Tell us something we don't know!"

Jake gave an angry warning glance at her and continued.

"But what I don't know is why! A few years ago he was all but happy to help us and now he's attacking us. What I don't know is why he's doing it. Even when he knows what the consequences are going to be. I just don't get why he would risk losing a brother and why he's doing this in the first place. On the way here, we were attacked but it was only one wolf against two. I gave her a warning and she went away. I really think that its not safe for nessie to be here. She's not safe around me or neither with you."

I was about to interrupt when my mum spoke.

"Why do get the feeling of déjà vu? And Jake what do you mean she's not safe with us? We have eleven members of the family who can protect her. And I do mean you and your pack! How can she not be safe with us?

Good question mom! I was just thinking the same thing! It seemed really funny to me, I could not be safe around my family? If that was a joke in a normal situation – I dought he would even make that statement in a normal situation.

"She won't be safe with me—"

"Damn right mutt she won't be safe with you!"

Aunt Rosalie interrupted again and this time Jake blew growling at her.

"Will you shut up and let me finish you stupid blonde? Unless you have a better Idea, then go ahead. Brainless blond!"

He said the last part in a whisper even though he knew everyone heard it.

"As I was saying, she won't be safe near me cause if I know Sam, he will try to get the two of us cornered. And it won't be hard to take us down what with his pack getting bigger. He probably has sixteen members already without us and it won't be hard to take down Seth and Leah either! This is why she won't be safe around me!"

For the very first time, Aunt Alice spoke.

"But why wouldn't she be safe around us? Like Bella said, were her greatest and strongest defense!"

"Well if you think about it, you won't have an even and maybe a fair chance. Even with Sam's pack divided in two, we'll still be at a disadvantage. They will try to split us up and we won't know when they would attack. Alice can't even see them. As for nessie, she won't see her until the last few minutes when something bad happens to her!"

Grandpa Carlisle wore a worried face that read "deep in thought" when he spoke, his voice had a surprised tone to it.

"Jacob, you said that Sam's pack got bigger. And according to you, there would be more wolfs if there were more vampires. We are the only vampire coven in Forks. Do you think that there are more wolfs because of us?"

"Don't know doc. It's been six years since we last had new wolfs come to our— Sam's pack. I don't think that it's possible, that Sam's pack is getting bigger because of your coven."

"Then…"

Shock crossed over grandpa Carlisle's face. My dad finished his sentence for him.

"Then…there must be a new vampire coven in forks."

Everyone in the room went silent. Everyone looked worried now and my mom started at me with even more worry spread across her face. I guessed what she worried for. What if the Volturi came back? I cringed at that thought. At the same time, my dad's head snapped up and looked me right in the eyes with unsure assurance.

"I don't think they're the ones visiting."

"Hope not" my mum's voice was a soft whisper. Everyone in the room understood what my dad meant. It started to get darker outside as the sun slowly set behind the orange and pink clouds. I looked out the window for a moment and stared at the sunset. I cuddled up to jakes arm which was warm and nice.

"Beautiful isn't it?" I asked Jacob in a whisper, no breaking my gaze away from the sunset. Jacob slowly took my face in his hands and leaned in closer so that our noses were just touching. He looked deep into my eyes and whispered.

"Not as beautiful as you are. Nothing can compare to your beauty."

If we weren't in a hall surrounded by our family, I would have kissed him right now. I realized that everyone's gaze was focused on us so I changed the topic.

"Say, Uncle Emmett, how would you like to spend some quality time with Jacob?"

"Awe nessie— you had to bring up this topic didn't you?"

"Well, what's life without a little fun?"

Uncle Emmett looked at us with a huge grin in his face.

"What did he do this time?"

"Well, Jacob lost a race to me!"

Everyone was looking at me as if I missed the punch line.

"What?"

They kept on staring at me. Aunt Alice got a little frustrated when none got what I meant. She sighed.

"She means that he lost a race to a GIRL!"

Everyone started laughing, now that they knew what I meant. Uncle Emmett laughed the loudest.

"Well Jacob, I think were gonna have lots of time to get to know each other now."

"Great, I'm so looking forward to it."

Jacob rolled his eyes and half smiled at me.

Everyone started to relax now. Me, Jake and Aunt Alice went and sat on the sofa watching TV. Uncle jazz, dad and grandpa Carlisle went up to grandpa Carlisle's study upstairs to talk about some sort of strategic plans. Uncle Emmett and Aunt Rose went hunting and my mom and grandma Esme were just talking. Aunt Alice flipped through the entire boring TV channel. I rested my head against jakes arm and stared at the TV. Aunt Alice reached the two hundredth channel and gave up. Instead, she put on a DVD. It was one of my favorites. The title was called Mulan. A Disney classic. I liked it because it showed that a women cam do as much as a man and more. The movie was half way through when I felt my eyelids go heavy. I tried to keep them open but every few minutes, they would droop over my eyed again. Finally I gave in and closed my eyes. I drifted into a deep unconsciousness where only me and Jake were together. I hugged him and leaned closer in towards his face. Suddenly the whole scene changed and we were in the middle of that beautiful sunset that appeared this evening. I leaned in closet and we kissed. Jacobs's warm lips touched mine. We kissed for a long moment under the sunset. We finally broke away to breathe. I caught my breath and rested my head against his chest. I closed my eyes and smiled. I heard a low, quiet whisper that came from Jacobs lips.

"Nessie, nessie wake up."

I was suddenly shaking in Jacobs arms. I soon came into consciousness and realized that Jacob was trying to wake me up.

"Nessie, you've got to go, wake up."

I warily opened my eyes, still drowsy.

"Mmm…Jake?"

"Sorry to wake you up nessie but you have to go home now."

"I want you to come with me."

"I will, that is if Bella and Edward don't mind."

He looked at my parents, who were standing by the door. My dad stared at Jacob for a moment and then answered

"Of course Jacob. You're always welcome."

I tried to get up of the sofa but I was too wary that I stumbled. Jacob caught me and helped me up.

"What time is it?"

"Three in the morning."

It was almost mid morning. I still felt too drowsy to properly wake up. I held Jacobs hand for support. I walked halfway to my parents when I started feeling very sleepy. My eyelids started to droop over my eyes again. I almost reached my parents when I fell unconscious. I fell mid way when Jacob caught me and took me in his arms. I heard his footsteps as he took me out the door. Every one was quiet. When we were outside, a cold breeze washed over me like a cold and cooling blanket on a hot and sweaty night. It felt very refreshing but not enough to wake me. I didn't know how close to my house we were because I was soon asleep in Jacobs's arms.
